Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Acadia Parish Released Inmates receives, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. It also explains cookies, security limits, and available privacy choices. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Searches

When you type a name, place, or other term into a search box operated by an outside provider, that input goes directly to the provider that powers the tool. Acadia Parish Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its handling of the query.

Emails and Messages

If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Normal web operations may record limited technical and usage details when a page loads. These records can include:

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • The browser name and version in use.
  • Your device category and operating system.
  • The pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • The date and time of each request.

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support site functions. You may block or remove cookies through browser controls. Some features may work differently or become unavailable after cookies are disabled.


Reasons We Use Data

Collected information is used for limited operational and service purposes:

  • Operating the site and maintaining reasonable performance.
  • Sending a search request to the selected partner tool.
  • Understanding which Acadia Parish resources visitors find useful.
  • Diagnosing errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.

Sites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to Acadia Parish Sheriff pages, Louisiana corrections resources, court sites, release-record portals, or independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and data practices govern what happens there.

Advertising companies may also use their own technology to follow activity across multiple websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, under their policies.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Depending on how you use the site, limited information may be available to:

  • Search partners that process a query you submit.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

Our Security Approach

We use commonly accepted safeguards intended to protect the information in our care. No website, network, or online transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Younger Than 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, contact us so the information can be reviewed and deleted.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask that eligible data be erased.
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as services, practices, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page and will carry a new effective date when posted.
